Center of Bicycle Technology

Maya Pedal is a Guatemalan NGO based in San Andreas Itzapa. We accept
bikes donated from the USA and Canada which we either recondition to
sell, or we use the components to build a range of "Bicimaquinas",
(pedal powered machines).

Pedal power can be harnessed for countless applications which would
otherwise require electricity (which may not be available) or hand
power (which is far more effort). Bicimaquinas are easy and enjoyable
to use. They can be built using locally available materials and can be
easily adapted to suit the needs of local people. They free the user
from rising energy costs, can be used anywhere, are easy to maintain,
produce no pollution and provide healthy exercise.

We make water pumps, grinders, threshers, tile makers, nut shellers,
blenders (for making soaps and shampoos as well as food products),
trikes, trailers and more.
